EPL continues to follow the latest results of the monitoring of the environment in Eastern Ukraine. Unfortunately, such monitoring is now possible only in the liberated territory. According to Sanitary Epidemiological Service, inspections of soil were conducted by sanitary-chemical and bacteriological parameters. According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, in 2015 the average concentrations of heavy metals, in particular lead and zinc, in soils in Mariupol exceeded the MPC in 3,3-3,5 times.
